I knew a guy who kept saying he needed to quit masturbation.
Every Monday, he'd make the same promise. By Wednesday, he'd feel like he'd failed again.
Eventually, he stopped making dramatic promises and started paying attention to what triggered the habit.
He began working out, sleeping earlier, spending less time scrolling alone at night, and keeping himself busy.
A few weeks passed, and something changed.
He realised he wasn't lacking willpower.
He had simply built a routine around boredom, stress, and being alone.
Once he changed the routine, the habit became easier to control.
